Martial Master

Who are you?

Guan Wei looked coldly at him.

What’s going on today? Why does everyone dare to speak to me like this?

Upon seeing the alchemist robe on Elder Xu Bo, he was taken aback, and when he recalled what the other party had mentioned about the Alchemy Pavilion, Guan Wei immediately understood that the person before him was likely from the Alchemy Pavilion.

I am Elder Xu Bo from the Alchemy Pavilion! Xu Bo snorted coldly.

Elder Xu Bo?

Guan Wei's gaze sharpened.

An elder in the Alchemy Pavilion is definitely a high-ranking existence. Generally, those who can serve as elders in the Alchemy Pavilion are at least sixth-grade alchemists. In the imperial city, they are undoubtedly top figures.

Usually, Guan Wei would give him face.

However, this time, the deputy commander had clearly instructed him to bring all these people back. As the captain of the city guard, even if he was wary of the Alchemy Pavilion, he could not just let them leave with the people.

So you are an elder of the Alchemy Pavilion. I am the captain of the city guard. I have seen you, but these people are wanted criminals by our city guard and need to be taken back for investigation. I’m afraid the Alchemy Pavilion can't keep them either, Guan Wei said in a deep voice.

Xu Bo's expression darkened. He didn't expect the city guard to be so arrogant, and as an elder of the Alchemy Pavilion, he was not given any face at all.

Instantly, he shouted angrily: Are you saying that your city guard intends to take away even our Alchemy Pavilion's alchemists? I am here today, and I want to see how your city guard plans to take them!

With a cold shout, Xu Bo's mid-stage sixth-level cultivation erupted, his anger palpable.

Beside him, Xu Zheng also looked furious, surrounded by a chilling aura.

The strongest among Guan Wei and the others was only a peak late-stage Wuzong, how could they withstand Xu Bo's imposing pressure? They all groaned under the weight.

Guan Wei's face turned ugly as he said coldly: What you say is not correct, is it? I respect you as Elder of the Alchemy Pavilion and wouldn’t dare to offend, but this person previously openly attacked members of the Feng family in the imperial city, and nearly slaughtered all the martial artists of the Feng family. Our city guard is responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial city, so naturally, we must bring the suspect back for investigation. This is an arrest warrant issued by our city guard. If you obstruct this, does it mean the Alchemy Pavilion is choosing to be enemies with our city guard?

Arrogant! Although I am an elder, I am also the newly appointed vice-master of the Alchemy Pavilion. How can you allow yourself to bully our Alchemy Pavilion's alchemists? Xu Bo said angrily.

Newly appointed vice-master?

Guan Wei was taken aback.

He knew very well that the Alchemy Pavilion traditionally only had one master, who was like a dragon that one could rarely see. He had never heard of a vice-master before. Now this person claimed to be the vice-master. What did that mean?

Could it be that this person has significant power in the Alchemy Pavilion?

Guan Wei felt a sense of dread in his heart.

Taking on this assignment truly felt like a stroke of bad luck.

However, as the captain of the city guard, he could not ignore the orders given by the deputy commander. Moreover, he was clear that capturing Qin Chen was likely not just the deputy commander's intention; the Feng family was a powerful family subordinate to the Leng family, and the relationship between the Leng family and the deputy commander was extremely close. It was very likely the Leng family's wish.

Thinking of the Leng family, Guan Wei's courage returned.

In the imperial city, although the Alchemy Pavilion held a noble status, that was simply because it was a gathering place for alchemists, supported by the top force of the continent, the headquarters of the Alchemy Pavilion.

In reality, the Alchemy Pavilion of the Dawi Dynasty never participated in the power struggles of major forces and had always been suppressed by the Leng family in the pill market.
